About us

This Blog will guide you through the use of Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS), sometimes called PC-DOS or simply called DOS and Linux OS Commands, functions in very deep details.

 It describes how you can use the important commands contained in all versions of MS-DOS, LINUX
including versions 1.00 through 5.00, to get the most out of your microcomputer. Table 1-3, which is presented later in this section, lists all DOS commands and lists the version of DOS in which the subject command was introduced. Therefore, you can quickly identify which commands are available on your computer and unavailable to earlier versions of DOS. 
This blog is designed to familiarize you with the most commonly used DOS commands by providing plain English descriptions and experience through hands-on activity activities. Once learned, from this blog is available as a handy command reference.

What is a File name?   Every program and data file is given a name to differentiate it from other programs and data files. A program is one or more computer instructions collected into a file. A data file is normally a collection of characters (or data) that make up a document, like a letter, or a database, like a collection of accounting transactions or customer records. Descriptive filenames are normally used. For example, if you create and save a letter to Mom, you might give it the filename MOM.LTR. A letter to Dad could be called DAD.LTR. A word processing program file might have the filename WP.COM. Examine these filenames a little closer. First, notice that each filename is meaningful. This is important if you want to know what is in a file by looking at its name. Obscure filenames are of little u...
